Weird bird dream

Okay, so, I had a really weird dream last night that kinda turned into a nightmare. It was morning, and I woke up to the sound of a huge flock of starlings, so I got up and looked out the window and, as suspected, there was a huge flock of starlings, but then it just kept getting bigger until the sky was covered in birds. It wasn't just starlings anymore, it was crazy. The world got really dark, but once the birds passed everything seemed pretty normal. EXCEPT!!! There were all sorts of cool birds all over the place, a really rare bird came to the bird feeder, I can't really remember what it was, but it was so cool. I grabbed my camera and tried to take pictures of it. Key word: tried. My camera wasn't working and the rare bird flew away. Then I woke up feeling really disappointed.

My mother sent this to me. It's so adorable.

Update: I just found out he likes blueberries.

Okay, so, one of my hissing cockroaches is eating the wood in his terrarium. I didn’t think that he’d eat the wood?? Maybe there’s something on it that he’s eating. The only other thing I know he’ll eat is strawberries and bananas. I’m still trying to find out what he likes.

(Photos are not mine, I just got them off of Google) Okay. These things are NOT bees. All of them are hoverflies. Flies have two wings, bees have four. I keep seeing pictures of hoverflies with people being all like, "Haha, look at this cute bee. She's so great, I think I made a friend today!" Well, guess what? That, "Cute bee" is actually a fly DISGUISED as a bee.

Another Ring-billed Gull

It was a cloudy day, so the lighting isn’t very good, but look at how pretty those wings are!

Some kind of mushroom I found at Andy Guest State Park, in Virginia. I’ve never seen a purple mushroom before so it was kind of odd. It was seen in September of this year. Does anyone know what it could be?
